UNIQUE EXPRESSION - Missed post - 3.18.2015

Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

“Unique expressions of GOD’S love” she said.
“That is what we all are”, she said.
I asked her, “Say that one more time.”
“We are all unique expressions of GOD’s love.”
Let that sink in for a second. I told her I was going to “lift” that for later use. She didn’t mind. I think she had lifted it too.
I love that.

Doesn’t that “label” clear up any doubt of what GOD intended for each of us; for us to be a “fearfully and wonderfully made” expression of His love? Doesn’t that label “fit” nicely?

I am choosing to embrace that view of me today; GOD’s view.
You should too.

GOD constructed you uniquely. He constructed you out of love. He constructed you and “called you good”. Why we don’t believe that some days is hard to fathom.
Why do we let the labels of others continue to define us?
Labels like:
Failure.
Tramp.
Mistake.
Good for nothing.
No account.
Like I said, "hard to fathom".

I understand we all from time to time have doubts about ourselves based on what others say. The enemy is good at doubts. The enemy is good at lies. The enemy is good at using others to perpetuate them.
John 8:44
…he is a liar and the father of lies.

But our GOD is a GOD who CANNOT lie (Titus 1:2) so if He says we are things like:
…His workmanship…(Ephesians 2:10)
….are greatly loved… (Colossians 3:12; Romans 1:7;
Thessalonians 1:4; Ephesians 2:4)
...then we TRULY are the “UNIQUE expressions of GOD’s love.”
We NEED to believe that unequivocally!

So put that in your HEART, SPIRIT and MIND today as you head out to work, school or ministry. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
GOD crafted you.
GOD loves you.
What more do you need know today?
You weren't an accident. You weren't mass produced. You aren't an assembly-line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on the earth by the Master Craftsman.” ― Max Lucado,

So:
Embrace your uniqueness!
Embrace HIS love for you!

I love you all.
